Here, we (led by French PhD student Cyril) use the same kind of 3D musculoskeletal modelling process as paper #2 above, but including real data from dissections of muscles from a white rhino, and usage of those data in a simple static simulation to estimate how the muscles might be ...
Success in software development is at least as much about avoiding failure modes as it is about “best practices.” I conjecture it’s because software development on a commercial scale is so hard that almost any mistake will sink a project if left uncorrected or even worse, actively encouraged...
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political...

Language is never neutral, and language in international conventions relies on a long history of politics, compromises, and negotiated definitions. Any newly conceived language should be closely scrutinised: What does it look like? What does it mean? How will it be measured? Who is supporti...
A relevant documentary (1996) Much of the problem is that we want so badly to be believed, to be seen as someone who knows stuff. In the rest of Crichton’s speech, he explains why he named the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect after Murray Gell-Mann: because he’s famous, and he’s a phy...
I’m not clear on how I got to be who I am today. A popular couple in my high school got married after a few years of university. We were all happy for them. They were wonderful people and the perfect couple. They are both dead …as is my dear Christine. Don’t know exactly ho...
The services of an Indian surrogate mother: $8,000.Western couples seeking surrogates increasingly outsource the job to India, and the price is less than one-third the going rate in the United States. The right to shoot an endangered black rhino: $250,000.South Africa has begun letting some...
Absolutely. (I mean, my son did warm to a restaurant straw wrapper that he kept on his bedside table for months.) Is it all kinds of delightful because the story is written and illustrated by the magnificent Italian storyteller, Beatrice Alemagna, the talent behind one of my forever favorite...
